toe in was wrong. she ground the pad down past the pad, past the SHOE, straight metal to metal. tried to put a new set on, the inner adjuster bolt was stripped. shattered in my hand. tried to untwist the big red knob, stuck as fuck. used vice grips, thing shattered. banged it on the floor till the caliper released the disc. it was all around fubar. friends don't let friends corrode their disc brake parts.

Newer Globe Daily 3 speed, PURPLE step through, $150, may part with the sw33t springy brooks for a little more (otherwise I'll put the original saddle back on)"life is hard, cats are soft." - surprisefries

They're actually not bad! It's aluminum, so not nearly as heavy as a real Dutch bike. I just barely fit this one, I was holding it for my mom but it turned out to be definitely too big for her, and I'd rather get a 26" Linus someday instead. I also felt like the seat tube angle was a little too upright for a proper Dutch bike fit and it didn't come with fenders or a rack, so it was a little too Americanized for me, but I'm a weirdo. It was a fine bike and everyone who borrowed it liked it a lot. It's too bad specialized stopped selling them here (maybe everywhere? I don't remember)."life is hard, cats are soft." - surprisefries

So, I have an Ultegra --> Open Pro wheel that has been collecting dust in my closet for about two years. It didn't ask for this. It didn't deserve this. It wants a new home.

Basically new. Never used by me. Bought from Morgan. Used by Morgan. $50. Buy it.Naaaah, too uncool for the #messlyfe. I just like to hang out in loading docks and pretend to talk on my radio so that people will like me. - Mfratt

not exactly the ideal place for this, buuut, anyone want a dress? it's super cute, still got tags, size 12 (fits big?)it's this one - http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/boston-dream-pie-dress (on too much sale to be returned, and boy am i grumpy about it)

I bought a set of Specialized Defroster MTB shoes in size 47. Mounted up cleats and rode 50 miles. Definitely not for my feet. They fit a bit bigger than your standard Specialized. They look practically new and have SPD cleats. $110e-f-f-e-c-t a smooth operater operating correctly

Selling my cell phone holder for my bag http://www.chromeindustries.com/us/en/phone-pouchThat model in all black. I got it a few years ago, but haven't used it in awhile since cell phones are getting bigger and bigger. 5 bucks.Fits most smaller phones, does not fit larger phones, especially if you have an otterbox or other case around it. Fits ipods great.

Who wants to be a masochist and build a wheel around a butterface Dura-Ace 7402 UNIGLIDE (7s) hub? It's yours for a 110 chainring either 46 or 34. Preferably both. Or i'll trade it to you if you can get me like a hundred spokey-dokes/little mermaid/force awakens top tube protector. who wants to mug a kid for me?

Also looking for Shimano tri-color headset parts, because I found one in the trash. Slightly brinelled, so I'm hoping for a crown race, but will settle for just the plastic seals. or a sticker, lol.

Because you said it's a "UniGlide hub", I'm assuming this is cassette UG and not freewheel UG. If cassette, you can simply remove the axle and release the big nut, and the freehub will pop off, and then you can swap the freehub for an 8/9/10 speed freehub off a trash hub. There's a couple of spline standards but I believe Shimano hubs only use one standard so any freehub off a Shimano cassette hub will do.

I bought a minty mint set of MA40's laced to 600 tricolor hubs with 7sp UG, at a swap meet, and I did exactly this and then swapped the shorter axle for a longer one and put this wheel on Svetlana (and later, Norma Jeane). Make sure the one you're swapping in spins smoothly but without too much wobble before you do this, because although you can take those apart and reshim them, it's easier to just grab one that's already perfect from your LBS's pile of trash wheels or shelf of trash hubs. I made the mistake of swapping in a freehub at first that was a little too tight and I kept getting chain suck, so I intended to take it apart and reshim it, but it was easier to just swap it again for one that was already perfect from the shop's drawer of old freehubs.::lols at Dan's great photoshopping job:: ::slowly stops laughing:: ::googles:: ::kills self:: -tinyhonkshus

According to the old people at BF, sheldon brown, and a bunch of other people, it seems that the threading for dura-ace freehubs for only the 7400 series are different than other lines of that era, or current freehub bodies. the suggestion that has been made by sheldon was to find a freehub body that was UG/HG from that era...but finding one of those is just as likely as me finding this stupid thing to begin with. If someone has the tool to get at the nut inside the freehub, i'm willing to try it anyway...but i'm going to leave it in one piece unless there's someone here who has done it firsthand.

TL;DR: 7400 uniglide freehub body cannot be switched with a hyperglide body unless it is the dura-ace 8 speed one. Argument: the threading of the freehub itself is different, b/c Dura-Ace is special.

Oh shit, pre-1997 Dura-Ace. The problem for swapping freehubs is not that the threading is different (the threading that's different from DA to non-DA is threading for the smallest UG sprocket, on the opposite end from the freehub/hub interface), the problem is that that the other freehubs attach with a nut and splined interface but the pre-1997 DA freehub interface is threaded rather than splined.

I'm guessing you saw this thread? Note that your 7402 supposedly has an 8-speed freehub, not 7-speed like you mentioned, so it's already more usable than I thought, but what you really want is an FH-7403 freehub, which would be a direct swap and would work with all modern 8/9/10 speed cassettes without modification. If you're looking at a pile of freehubs, you can pick out the right one because it'll have a threaded interface connecting it to the hub and threading on both the outside of the small cog end (for the UG outer sprocket) as well as threading on the inside of the small cog end (for the HG locknut). I'll look in the freehub drawer at my shop, but even if we have one and we have the removal tool, I wouldn't be able to get the removal tool to Boston, but I'm sure somebody in Boston has got it. It's worth raiding the freehub drawers of any local bike shops you can get to.

You might have better luck swapping the guts of the DA 7402 freehub into the shell of some HG freehub. One person in that thread above says shell swaps for the 7400 series to regular freehub shells won't work, but another person says they did it successfully but never followed up to post details. Maybe some freehub shells fit and others don't. You'd still need the removal tool to get the damn DA freehub off the hub, though. The procedure for a shell swap should essentially be the same as this: ::lols at Dan's great photoshopping job:: ::slowly stops laughing:: ::googles:: ::kills self:: -tinyhonkshus

And even without swapping freehubs, you could still use this thing with HG cassettes by having the smallest sprocket be the Dura-Ace threaded Uniglide one and doing a bit of filing. And because it's an 8 speed freehub you can fit all 8 gears of an 8 speed setup or 9 gears of a 9 speed setup (a modern derailleur should be very tolerant of the slightly wider spacing to the 8-speed UG cog). You can probably even do all 10 of a 10 speed setup, maybe filing the built-in spacer of the UG cog down a little if it doesn't shift well. But all that filing probably isn't worth it if that hub isn't already laced to a wheel.::lols at Dan's great photoshopping job:: ::slowly stops laughing:: ::googles:: ::kills self:: -tinyhonkshus

Mavic Drift shoes, size 41 1/3, used but in pretty good shape overall. Will require some work (possibly powertools and/or unicorn tears) to get the cleats off. Last winter was a salty one and I was neglectful, sorry.

$50, obo.

Photos hereI thought that might be you! But there was no shimmy-shake so I couldn't be sure.

Damn thats a sweet deal. hopefully someone grabs those. cleats should be pretty easy to get off if you strip the norm method away. use a dremel to cut a straight line through the head of the screw, then use a flathead to unscrew it. also tapping with a hammer first will help loosen them up a bit.MUFFDVR

^Interesting. Those seem very low cut to be any use against the dreaded Boston slush wash. They do look warm, though, so long as you're not getting roadwash sluicing in from on top...Worstcase I'll just zip tie on a seat... but i'd rather not. —Zev (who else)

I bought nylon gaiters for $10 on Amazon. They come almost all the way up to my knees. Problem solved, and much more effectively than a few inches more height on the boot cuff would have done.

What the gaiters don't do is protect me in everyday situations where I don't bring them because I don't expect to need them.::lols at Dan's great photoshopping job:: ::slowly stops laughing:: ::googles:: ::kills self:: -tinyhonkshus
